Hurst Baja Boot
Bingo!

The Baja Boot and SCG 003C (puzzle GTE 136) are both owned by a friend of mine. When that puzzle came down to Oguerrerob trying to identify the exact model designation, it occurred to me that he might come across photos of the two vehicles together in the SCG shop and solve both puzzles simultaneously!

 :doh: I had that one lined up as a future puzzle and didn't recognize it without the bodywork.

OMG, you must move in very exclusive circles. In fact, thought the Baja Boot was owned by James Glickenhaus himself. Are you friends with him??
